Attention Handicappers - Please use WA (Widely Available) numbers.

<HR style="COLOR: #fdde82" SIZE=1>When you post a pick please use numbers that are widley available at the time of you're post. WA or widley available lines make it easy for everyone to use the play. I have recieved several E-mails asking me to make an announcement.

Remember this is not a popularity contest but a handicapping forum - lets make it as easy as possible for everyone to participate. If you use free half point outs simply state so.Laying -6 at 7AM yourself then posting that same pick at the same -6 when it is up to -7 or 7.5 by 4PM when you get a chance to post helps no one. There is no -6 to be had and -7 or -7.5 is a long way off -6.

The same goes for baseball posting a favorite at -125 when you played it the night before and saying it is a play when the game is now -145 the next afternoon when you post does little good for anyone. Remember post the number that is widley available for all at the time of you're post.

Thanks, Rx.com Mod Team..

All of The Rx. Moderators have new E-mail addys - please use any of these to contact The Rx. for any help you may need.

The Rx. policy on posting in the Rx.com sport forums:

The Rx. policy on reporting abusive and out of line posting in the Rx.com sport forums:

Posters - PLEASE show each other at least a small amount of courtesy when posting in any of The Rx.com Sport Forums, all of this bickering and ridicule is getting tiresome and worse than that very counter-productive.

All of you are here to try to beat your bookies, not each other, so again please either post productively or use The Rubber Room if you want to post abusively or criticise your fellow posters.

Please try your best to help each other or if you can't do that than kindly leave well enough alone posters who you may disagree with.

The Rx.com moderator team is spread fairly thin and has to depend upon you posters to report bashing. abusive posting and un-called for criticism or ridicule in any of our Sport Forums by using the "Report a Post" icon at the bottom left of all post boxes.

Violaters will be warned, repeat violaters will be placed on post review for for periods of time commensurate with the degree of bashing or abusive posting.

Eventually mutiple offenders who have been warned on several occasions will be banned from the site indefinitely.

Please use the "Report a Post" icon to report any bashing or out of line posting that either happens to you or any you see happening to others - it will be greatly appreciated by The Rx.com Moderator team as well as the poster being abused. Reports will be acted upon promptly and with complete discretion. Simply click on the triangular icon at the bottom left hand corner of all Rx.com post boxes.

Icon: All posts have this icon at bottom left.

Also any poster who sees something that appears to be out of line should feel free to contact any of the Rx. moderators (see list below) or use the report Post function icon above.

Using the icon will immediately generate an email with a link to the offending post to several moderators, one of which who upon receipt of the email will take immediate action and deal with the offending poster or posters. All you need to do is click on the icon and type one,two or maybe three simple words and click on SEND REPORT.

Those few words can be something along the lines of abusive poster, profane language, uncalled for bashing, unfair criticism etc.

When posters assist each other in such a manner then there is little chance that a poster will be on the receiving end of unfair bashing or abusive posting for very long.

Posters are also invited to email moderators individually if so desired. However this method for reporting abusive posting can be slower in obtaining results than using the report a post icon method.

The entire Rx.com moderator team is asking all of you to show some courtesy to each other. Everyone who is serious about betting on sports deserves to be allowed to post their own thread without being abused or ridiculed by other posters. This goes for veteran and newbie posters alike.

Do not get into an argument in any sport forum threads, simply report the out of line posts and a moderator will deal with it ASAP.

Any threads or posts that don't conform to this policy are subject to being moved to the Rubber Room entirely.

FYI:

All of The Rx. Moderators have new E-mail addys - please use any of these to contact The Rx. for any help you may need.

Posting Profane Thread titles..Lets all give that a rest...

While I am reluctant to create any new rules here in the Rx.com Sport Forums, I would like to appeal to everyone to refrain from what is becoming epidemic in nature -- The posting of profane thread titles.

I am talking about posters who take a tough beat and want to blame it on a relief pitcher who blew a 9Th inning lead, a quarterback who is intercepted in what would have been a point spread covering drive, or a coach of any given team whose late game strategy fails and his team also fails to cover the point spread.

There are many other examples but I think you all get my point.

Lets all stop with "Fucking Brad Lidge or John Papelbon" type of thread titles. For every bad beat you experience there is someone who got a lucky late game cover from the same game..

Bottom line blaming an individual player, coach, umpire or referee for a game you played and lost is not very mature behavior. Bad or tough beats are a big part of gambling, feel free to vent but PLEASE do not dumb down our very valuable and for the most part intelligent Sport Forums by creating a thread title like "The Cubs Blow" or Donavan McNabb is a fucking clown" etc etc etc.

These thread titles irritate many of us and are totally unnecessary and to put it bluntly juvenile in nature. I know if you don't like don't read it. Fine but still the thread does little to enhance the overall sharp post percentage of our sport forums.

Take it to The Rubber Room and rant away. Get mad if you want but don't look for sympathy by throwing a tantrum in the middle of a forum filled with threads that are written with intelligence and the desire to share knowledge with other players that could help a poster stop a bad run of luck or help another keep a hot streak intact..

Going forward do not be surprised to see profane thread titles edited or the thread itself moved to the Rubber Room.

I am asking you all to think before you rant about a blown save or a goal line fumble that cost you a wager. We have all been there and know the feeling.

Lets keep these Sport Forum positive instead of a place to cry about a difficult loss that each of us pulled the trigger on in the first place at one time or another and when viewed with an unbiased mind is where the blame really lies for all lost wagers -- The person who made the bet itself..Not the pinch hitter who wiffed with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 9Th or the offensive lineman who got called for holding to nullify a spread covering TD.

Take responsibility for your own decisions and deal with them like a mature and intelligent handicapper.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, wilheim...

Important - anyone on post review please read..

Post Review is when you make a post but you get a message that a moderator has to review the post first before it can be posted in it's intended forum.

I would like to take you off post review and allow you to post freely here in on The Rx.com Posting Forum without having to wait for a moderator to review every post you make.

The reason you are on is probably something to do with the way you registered. In many cases it is you have a posting name already active coming from your IP. but there are other reasons.

If The Rx.com has you on post review and you would like to get off please email me at wilheim@therx.com back-up person19481950@yahoo.com and include your Rx poster name in the email. Please title the email Rx Post Review Removal so I will be able to identify the email and not treat it like spam.

I may have to ask you a question or two but ultimately I want to free up posters restricted by post review. There are no guarantees but a brief email is the best way to get off post review..

Thank you, wilheim
